"Well, I gave 62 years at it and I'm going to matches all the time."
As legendary GAA commentator Micheal O Muircheartaigh told Off The Ball in our in-depth interview with him tonight, he is constantly returning to the scene of his success - albeit as a spectator rather than behind the mic.
But the 84-year-old, who began his broadcasting career back in the late 1940s, also reflected on the changes Gaelic football has undergone since that time.
"It's different now. It's totally different to the football I saw back in the '40s," he told Joe and Colm.
"It has changed and some people don't like it. I don't like all the passing, but then each generation, I think, has the right to play it the way they want to play it."

Micheal also shared memories from his long career, looking back on how he got his unique breakthrough in sports broadcasting in his late teens, before chatting about how he developed his inimitable style of commentary.
For example, he discussed where the inspiration came from for his brilliant line about former Cork star Sean Og O hAilpin, while he also spoke about listening to another broadcasting great, the late Micheal O'Hehir and the GAA milestones and great players he has witnessed live down the years.

Micheal also explained why the Kerry team of the mid-70s onwards was the one that stands above all others for him.
